A ND what shall we say of the WOMEN —of their instant 
intelligence, quickening every task that they touched; their 
capacity for organization and cooperation which gave their ac¬ 
tion discipline and enhanced the effectiveness of everything they 
attempted; their aptitude at tasks to which they have never be¬ 
fore set their hands ; their utter self-sacrifice alike in what they 
gave? Their contribution to the great result is beyond appraisal. 
They have added a new luster to the annals of American 
Womanhood. 

The least tribute we can pay them is to make them the 
equals of men in political rights, as they have proved themselves 
their equals in every field of practical work they have entered, 
whether for themselves or for their country. These great de¬ 
tails of competent achievements would be sadly marred were we 
to omit that act of justice. Besides the immense practical ser¬ 
vices they have rendered, the Women of the country have been 
moving spirits in the systematic economies by which our people 
have voluntarily assisted to supply the suffering peoples of the 
world and the armies of every front with food and everything 
that we had that would serve the common cause. The details 
of such a story can never be fully written but we can carry them 
at our hearts and thank God that we can say that we are kins¬ 
men of such. 


—Woodrow Wilson.

Who May Vote at Primary Elections. 

No elector may vote the ticket of any 
political party at a primary election un¬ 
less he is affiliated with the political 
party, whose ticket he desires to vote. 
Party affiliation shall be determined by

eral election held in November, 1920, or 
if he did not vote at the last general 
election he must vote the ticket of the 
political party whose candidates he in¬ 
tends to support at the November elec¬

CHAS. KRICHBAUM 

Candidate for 

Common Pleas Judge 

To the Canton League of Women Voters, 

Canton, Ohio. 

I am standing for the remainder of the un¬ 
expired term of Judge Hubert C. Pontius for 
Common Pleas Judge. The public owes me noth¬ 
ing. I owe my best, as does every man and 
woman, to the public weal. 

It is not so important that I should be elected 
Judge as it is that the women of Stark County 
should maintain the spirit of the non-partisan 
ballot, as incorporated in the laws of the State 
of Ohio, in selecting a judiciary of the county. 

Fidelity to this law has lately been urged by 
the American as well as the State Bar Asso¬ 
ciation. 

The success or failure of popular suffrage is 
now in the hands of such organizations as yours. 
The slow progress of civilization has kept step 
only with the gradual but sure emancipation of 
women. 

You have now won your victory of equality 
with men. You can enable the judiciary to 
stand for a more discriminating justice. You 
can make it move with less halting step. You 
can temper its justice with a finer mercy. 

The hope of the world for the creation of an 
enlightened public sentiment and social con¬ 
science is in your hands and you cannot afford 
to be slackers either in the primary or in the 
general election. 

Very sincerely, 

CHARLES KRICHBAUM.

JUDICIAL OFFICERS 


Non-Partisan Election Ballot 


SUPREME COURT 

The supreme court of Ohio is made 
up of seven justices or judges—one chief 
and six associates. This court sits and 
meets at Columbus. It is the final court 
of review of the state. Most of the cases 
coming before it come on review from 
the lower courts. However, the court 
has original jurisdiction in certain cases, 
and, therefore, certain cases determined 
by this court are filed originally in it. 
While nominations may be made at the 
party primaries, each member is elected 
on the non-partisan ballot for a term 
of six years. Two associate justices are 
to be elected to this court at the com¬ 
ing election. 

COURT OF APPEALS 

This court in the main is a court of 
review and ranks next to the supreme 
court. The state is divided into dis¬ 
tricts and each district has a court of 
appeals. This district includes fourteen 
counties. Almost all the cases coming 
before this court come on review from 
the courts of common pleas of the dis¬ 
trict. This court, too, has original jur¬ 
isdiction in certain matters, and, there¬ 
fore, some of the cases heard by this 
court are filed originally in it. The 
term of members of this court is six 
years. The annual salary of the judges 
elected hereafter is approximately Eight 
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($8,- 
500.00.) One judge is to be elected at 
the coming election. 

COMMON PLEAS COURT 

Each county of the state constitutes a 
common pleas court division. Each com¬ 
mon pleas judge of the county sits in¬ 
dividually as the court. The number of 
common pleas judges varies in the dif¬ 
ferent counties of the state, the number 
being determined by the legislature by 
legislative enactment. Stark county at 
present has three common pleas judges. 
The chief justice of the supreme court 
is authorized by law to assign common 
pleas judges of one county to another 
county, at the expense of the . latter 
county, for the purpose of assisting in 
the judicial work of that county. > The 
jurisdiction of this court is both original 
and appellate. The greater number of 
cases in this court are filed originally in 
it. However, a large number of cases 
come to it on appeal or on error from 
lower courts, such as probate court, mu-

nicipal courts, police courts and justice 
of the peace courts. The common pleas 
court is ordinarily spoken of as a court 
of general jurisdiction and its work con¬

equity. In this court questions of fact 
are ordinarily tried to a jury sitting with 
the judge in the trial. However, there 
are many cases tried in this court where 
the judge determines the facts as well 
as the law. The term of office for judges 
of this court is six years. The annual 
salary of judges hereafter elected in this 
county is approximately Sixty-five Hun¬

to be elected at the coming election. 


STATE OFFICERS 


Partisan Election Ballot. 


GOVERNOR. 

The governor is the chief executive 
and administrative officer of the state, 
performing such duties as are ordinarily 
performed by chief executives of states. 
In addition to his executive duties he 
possesses the veto power and thus has a 
large part in the legislative work of the 
state. He also performs numerous less 
important duties. Under our state gov¬ 
ernment, as now organized, the gover¬ 
nor has opportunity to exert great pow¬ 
er in connection with the state govern¬ 
ment, through 'the boards and officers 
he is authorized to appoint. He is elect¬ 
ed for a term of two years, and is enti¬ 
tled to a salary of Ten Thousand Dollars 
($10,000.00) per year. 

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. 

The state has a lieutenant governor, 
whose duties and influence are of little 
consequence. He presides over the state 
senate while it is in session, and in the 
event the governor dies, or is incapaci¬ 
tated, he succeeds to the office of gover¬ 
nor. 

ATTORNEY GENERAL. 

The duties of the attorney general in 
the main are to perform the law work 
of the state. He might more appro¬ 
priately be called the attorney for the 
state. His term of office is two years.

and is the chief election officer of the 
state. He is in charge of the seal of 
the state, and affixes the same to state 
public documents.

TAX INFORMATION. 


What Is a State Tax? 

A state tax is a compulsory contribu¬ 
tion of the state for its support and for 
services rendered to the citizens by the 
state. 



What Is An Assessment? 

An assessment is a special levy for 
local improvements. 

What Kind of State Taxes Are There? 

There are four kinds of state taxes; 
property, inheritance, franchise, and ex¬ 
cise. There are other sources of reve¬ 
nue such as licenses and other fees, as 
for example, automobile license and fees 
for filing articles of incorporation. 

What Is the State Property Tax? 

The state property tax is a tax on per¬ 
sonal property or chattels (jewels, fur¬ 
niture, live-stock, etc.), and on real 
estate (land and buildings). 

What Is the Tax Duplicate? 

The tax duplicate is the complete list 
of all taxable property in the county. 
It is a copy, or duplicate, of two lists 
in the County Auditor’s office, one a 
list of returns by the citizens of all 
chattels owned by them, the other a list 
made by the County Auditor of per¬ 
sons and the real estate owned by them 
in the county. This duplicate is sent 
to the County Treasurer for collection. 

How Is the Amount and Value of Tax¬ 
able Personal Property Arrived At? 

The amount and value of taxable per¬ 
sonal property is arrived at through 
returns made by persons owning such 
property and, in case such persons fail 
to make returns, through returns secur¬ 
ed by chattel assessors who are elected 
every two years. 

How Is the Value of Taxable Real Es¬ 
tate Arrived At? 

The value of taxable real estate is ar¬ 
rived at by the County Auditor who is 
by law the County Tax Assessor and 
who assesses or values all real estate, 
and sees that all real estate is on the 
duplicate at its real value. The County 
Auditor may have a re-appraisal of all 
real estate at any time subject to the 
approval of the . County Commissioners. 


He would bring to the office of County Record¬ 
er the same qualities which made him a successful 
business man for thirty years. He was born in 
Plain Township, Stark County, Ohio, and has 
been identified with the business interests of Can¬ 
ton for thirty-six years; has held the continued 
patronage and confidence of his customers dur¬ 
ing the entire twenty-eight years of his active 
business career. 

Has been a tax payer for over thirty years. 

And now feeling that his business experience 
and dealings with the public qualify him to re¬ 
ceive your support, he respectfully solicits your 
vote and influence at the primaries on August 
8, 1922. 

At present I am employed with a corporation 
that has an excess of twenty thousand accounts, 
and believe my services have proven satisfactory.

How Are the Property Tax Rates Com¬ 
puted? 

The property tax rates are computed 
by the County Auditor who divides the 
estimates presented by the County, City, 
Township, and School officials of the 
amounts necessary to run their respec¬ 
tive divisions, as modified by the budget 
commission, by the amount of taxable 
property in the county. The Board of 
County Budget Commissioners goes 
over these figures transmitted by the 
Auditor and cuts them down in order 
that they may come within the limit of 
the Smith one per cent law. The Com¬ 
missioners have no control over or pow¬ 
er to reduce a tax levied by the General 
Assembly. 



FERD R. WEBER 


What Is the County Budget Commis¬ 
sion? 

The County Budget Commission is a 
Board consisting of the County Auditor, 
County Treasurer, and the County Pros¬ 
ecutor. 


Canton, Ohio. 
Democratic Candidate for 

County Recorder 


What Is the General Property Tax Rate? 

The general property tax rate is a rate 
of not to exceed one per cent (plus one- 
half per cent additional which may be 
imposed to pay the principal and inter¬ 
est on certain bonds) on all property, 
real and chattel. This rate is limited 
by the Smith 1 % Law passed in 1911. 

Do Not Some Tax Rates Exceed the 
Limit Fixed by the Smith 1% Law? 

Yes. These limits may be exceeded in 
certain cases of emergency and also by 
popular vote. There is also a special 
road levy of one-half mill made by act 
of the General Assembly which is in 
excess of any limitation. There are 
other special school levies which are in 
excess of any limitation. 

What Is the General Property Tax Used 

For? 

Tte general property tax of lj4% or 
15 mills on each dollar is used as fol¬ 
lows : 

3.3 mills by the state (.5 mills for 
good roads and 2.8 mills for the common 
schools). This amount is levied by the 
state and is not subject to change by 
the Budget Commission. 

11.7 mills is divided by the County 
Budget Commission between the county 
and the municipalities and schools of 
the county. 

These questions and answers are taken 
from two lectures by Judge John R. 
Cassidy, January, 1921. 


No opposition at primaries.

MARRIED WOMEN’S RIGHTS. 

Again women have been pronounced 
to be people. The House of Represen¬ 
tatives has passed the Cable bill, which 
makes the citizenship of a married wo¬ 
man a right, and not an accident of mar¬ 
riage. If the bill becomes a law no 
alien woman will be able to secure in one 
day what an alien man requires five 
years to secure, and no American wo¬ 
man will become an alien through a 
marriage ceremony. 

“This legislation is a piece of political 
candy that is being given to the wo¬ 
men,” said one of the legislators who 
didn’t like it. His term is objectionable, 
but when he says that “it is here primar¬ 
ily because the women want it,” he told 
a well-known truth. The bill was en¬ 
dorsed by the League of Women Voters, 
the General Federation of Women’s 
Clubs, the Association of University 
Women, the Council of Jewish Women, 
the W. C. T. U. and the National Wo¬ 
men’s Trade Union League, and well 
worked for. It is interesting that a sim¬ 
ilar bill has been placed before both the 
British House of Commons and the 
French Senate.—“The Woman Citizen.” 


DO YOU KNOW

average, fifty cents out of every dollar

That for every thousand children in 

school there is one deaf child to be edu¬

That initiative petitions are now being

the Constitution of Ohio limiting the 
power of counties, cities and school dis¬ 
tricts to borrow money? 

That petitions are now being circulat¬

the “uniform rule” in taxation and plac¬

That every woman (and perhaps a few 
men) need to do some studying and 
some thinking before she goes to the 
primary on August 8th?

THE PRIMARY. 


We cannot have good, efficient gov¬ 
ernment without good, efficent men in 
office. We cannot elect good men un¬ 
less we have good candidates to choose 
from. Under our Primary Election Law 
we cannot have good candidates unless 
we elect them at the Primaries. And so 
the conclusion of the whole matter is 
that we will have no right to complain 
about candidates next fall unless we have 
voted at the Primary on August 8th. 

There is another important point: We 
women have never before had a chance 
to vote at state and county primaries. 
This is our first chance to show what 
sort of candidates we really want. Ar d 
the sooner we begin to express our 
preferences the sooner we will really 
know what kind of persons make good 
government officials. We shall prob¬ 
ably have a few disappointments before 
we find out. 

Then there is a third point: The 
method of nominating candidates by a 
Primary Election is really on trial. It 
was devised by those who wanted more 
efficient government to take the place 
of the Party Convention system of nom¬ 
ination under which a few party leaders 
made the choice of candidates. It is an 
attempt to give the rank and file of 
voters in a party the right to choose 
their candidates. Has the Primary been 
a success? The only answer that can be 
given is that “it has never been tried.” 
That is, it is usually true that only a 
small percentage of the voters take the 
trouble to vote at a primary. Those 
who have some special or selfish inter¬ 
est at stake do vote, and, of course, get 
the candidates they want. Naturally 
the criticism has been made that the 
Primary is no better than the conven¬ 
tion method of nomination, that it costs 
a great deal, that it causes longer cam¬ 
paigns, and that we would better return 
to the convention method. Ther<£ is 
great 'danger that our Primary Laws 
may be so amended as to lose what vir¬ 
tue they have. If we believe in govern¬ 
ment by the people we ought to do our 
part, by using the Primary, to prove its 
worth and to help find out what changes 
are needed to make it an efficient way of 
registering the choice of the people.—

ASK YOUR CANDIDATE 


BY MAUD WOOD PARK, 
President of the National League of 
Woman Voters. 


Women’s political methods are mak¬ 
ing candidates candid; and from candid, 
in the modern sense, to candidus, with 
its ancient meaning, is not so far a jour¬ 
ney that women need despair of induc¬ 
ing politicians to take it. The League 
of Women Voters’ plan of asking the 
man who is running for office to define 
his position on public questions is be¬ 
ginning, and more than beginning, to 
show results. 

Two years ago, the Ohio League 
adopted resolutions outlining the kind of 
speeches they wished to hear, the kind 
of campaign in which they wished to 
take part. It was no arrogant demand, 
no threat to intimidate a candidate. It 
was merely a notice to men who wish 
office that women voters do not care for 
empty eloquence nor for vituperation. 
They wish to be given to understand ex¬ 
actly what the man who speaks stands 
for and what his convictions on public 
questions are. 

It is not too much to say that the wo¬ 
man voter wants to know what a side is 
more than she wants to hear what the 
other side is not; and objections to 
League questionnaires and mass-meeting 
expositions are without foundation. Any 
candidate is right to decline to answer 
trivial or impertinent questions from un¬ 
authorized persons, but no right-minded 
candidate can do anything but welcome 
the opportunity to put his beliefs before 
an audience made up of voters of both 
parties. No right-minded candidate can 
object to having his replies made public. 
League tactics are setting a new stand¬ 
ard for campaign speeches and it is a 
high standard, a standard of courtesy, 
honesty, and candor.—From the Woman 
Citizen. 


AN UNDERSTANDING MIND 


The Ohio League of Women Voters 
is a live body with an active interest in 
all that pertains to good government. It 
has doubled its state membership within 
the past year, and doubled the number 
of its local organizations. Political edu¬ 
cation, as a necessity of good citizenship, 
is the fundamental aim of the league; 
and it will not be particularly careful to 
keep its educational efforts confined to 
women. There are still a few men who 
need political education, and whose citi¬ 
zenship would stand improvement. 

At the outset, some very fervent ad¬ 
vice was given to American women, 
from high quarters, against seeking any 
other than a regular party form of or¬ 
ganization. The men’s Republican and 
Democratic organizations, national, state 
and local, were all ready and waiting, 
and would be glad to take them right 
in. What real need could there be of 
anything else? Independent movements, 
they were earnestly told, could never 
accomplish anything. If they were to 
make their votes felt it must be through 
the regular channels of party organiza¬ 
tion. 

But the women went ahead and form¬ 
ed their league, none the less. Of course 
large numbers of them are working as 
members of party organizations, and the 
two great parties have been very careful 
to see that they are represented on party 
committees, and that an increasing num¬ 
ber of them get regular party nomination 
to important offices. Still, it is quite 
evident that their political energies are 
not to be wholly consumed on partisan 
agencies. Politicians of the older school 
may not like to see it that way, but in 
adopting the Nineteenth amendment the 
country has added enormously to the 
element which votes with slight regard 
to party shackles. The League of Wo¬ 
men Voters will make for intelligent in¬ 
dependence at the polls, not for party 
regularity, and the country will not suf¬ 
fer thereby. Columbus Evening Dis¬

Alice Vignos, Chairman,

Canton, Ohio 

Dear Madam: 

We are grateful to you for giving us an opportunity to have some space in your 
booklet to present to the women of Ohio our claim that Honorable John J. Lentz, President of 
the American Insurance Union, of Columbus, Ohio, former Congressman, is highly deserving and 
fully qualified to receive the Democratic nomination for United States Senator on the 8th of 
August, 1922. 

Mr. Lentz has often said in his many addresses in behalf of Woman Suffrage 
throughout this entire country, “I have never been able to find out where or when or how 
I got the right to take the vote away from my mother.” He has often said, and still says, ‘‘I 
believe that the women will contribute greatly to the purity, honesty and efficiency of the gov¬ 
ernment, and I have always advocated the right of women to vote, not alone because any one 
claiming the right for himself should be willing to accord it to another, but also because I think 
the men themselves and the children of the nation need the help of women in guiding this 
government. I am sure the women cannot make the government any worse than the men have 
made it in the past, and I am anxious and willing to take a chance and make the prediction 
that they will make it much better.” 

Mr. Lentz’s many years of service and his generous contributions of time and 
money to abolish the saloon in Ohio and throughout the nation ; his support of the graduated 
income tax and election of senators by the people; his efforts for free rural delivery of mail to 
the farmers ; his fight for the one-cent pound rate for newspapers and magazines; his co-oper¬ 
ation in promoting and incorporating the Boy Scout movement; his address in the Coliseum 
at Rome in behalf of ‘‘A Free Man, in a Free Nation, in a Free World,” while visiting the 
American, British, French and Italian war fronts from January to May, 1918, as president of 
the American Insurance Union and a member of the Moose War Relief Commission ; his book 
on ‘‘Thomas Jefferson, the Radical;” his well-known sympathy with the wage earner ; his activ¬ 
ity in behalf of fraternalism ; his leadership, creative and constructive genius in organizing and 
developing an institution as great as the American Insurance Union, are all indications of the 
progressive, democratic spirit of the man. 

It has been said that ‘‘we need less government in business and more business in 
government.” If this be true, then surely Mr. Lentz, who is one of the most successful busi¬ 
ness men in Ohio, having founded and built one of the strongest financial institutions in the 
City of Columbus, is the man to send to Washington as Senator from Ohio. 

Cordially yours, 

JOHN J. LENTZ SENATORIAL COMMITTEE, 

James I. Fogerty, Secretary.

Harvey C. Smith 

Candidate for Republican Nomination for 

GOVERNOR 


Judge Smith, as he is known by many of his friends, 
was two years ago re-elected to the office of Secretary of 
State by the largest majority ever accorded a candidate for 
state office in Ohio. 

As Probate Judge for ten years of Muskingum Co., he 
has attracted state-wide attention, and it is upon this 
record that he is appealing to the women voters of the 
State. It was at this time also that Judge Smith began to 
see the woman’s side, which made him a strong proponent 
of woman’s suffrage throughout his political career. 

As Secretary of State, he has built up that office to the 
point where it now has an income, from fees and license 
money from the Automobile Department of more than one million dollars a month. During his 
four years as Secretary of State Judge Harvey C. Smith has been on the job, has made a care¬ 
ful study of state affairs and no one is more familiar with all departments of State Government. 

The record of Judge Harvey C. Smith is one justly worthy of all the praise given him 
by people in all walks of life and of diverse political faiths from every corner of the State. 
Judge Harvey C. Smith, the People’s Candidate, seeks your vote in the coming election by reason 
of his past achievements, and in support of the following platform: 

Selection of honest and able assistants; service to all the people; obedience to, and 
strict enforcement of all laws; a safe financial policy that will provide sound business pros¬ 
perity ; economical expenditures ; an intelligent, simplified taxation system that w r ill encourage 
rather than hinder business activities ; prohibition of tax exemptions ; no property should escape 
a reasonable proportion of taxation ; greater returns from expenditures ; policies that bring suc¬ 
cess in private affairs should be adopted in all public enterprises; a practical system of educa¬ 
tion ; a prosperous agriculture; economical construction and maintenance of highways; rural 
districts must have relief. Farmers must be gotten out of the mud; more efficient and direct 
marketing systems.

the City of Steubenville from 1916 to

divisions of the state should raise money 
for improvements by the millage levy

the issuance of bonds should be stop¬ 
ped. That too much of the taxpayers 
money is being used for the payment of 
interest that should be used for improve¬ 
ments. 

Mr. Williams’ knowledge of legislative

JUDGE SCHABER 

Seeks Democratic Nomination for 

Secretary of State 

Judge Chas. F. Schaber, of Bucyrus, O., 
served as Commissioner of Securities under 
the State of Ohio, and has annuonced his 
candidacy for Democratic nomination for Sec¬ 
retary of State. 

As Commissioner of Securities Judge Scha¬ 
ber achieved success in office, which has been 
favorably commented upon by men of affairs 
in this and other states. He made recom¬ 
mendations for the improvement of the Jaws 
governing the sale of securities in this state, 
which, by students of economic and financial 
legislation, were termed of a sound and ben¬ 
eficial character, and was given considerable 
favorable comment by newspapers of the state 
as well as other states. As a result, his 
opinion on matters of this character has been 
widely sought. 

In 1898 Mr. Schaber served in the Spanish- 
American War as a member of the Eighth 
Ohio Volunteer Regiment of Infantry, and 
participated in the Santiago, Cuba, campaign. 

For seven years Judge Schaber presided as 
Judge of the Juvenile Court of his county. In 
that work he won the commendation of all in 
his labors for the welfare of wayward and 
dependent children. Appreciation of his work 
on behalf of the schools of Ohio was publicly 
extended to him by the then State Commissioner of Common Schools, in which he speaks very 
highly of his rigid enforcement of the law and the fame of his court, expressing his belief that, 
if the laws on the statute books were enforced as in this court, moral reformation would be 
wrought all over the state. Judge Schaber is a Progressive, and if elected to the office he seeks 
will assume Progressive Policies.

dollar expended.

experience in many fields of endeavor, 
which makes him especially fitted for a

ALLEN J. SENEY 


Democratic Candidate for 


ATTORNEY GENERAL 


Allen J. Seney was born in Kenton, Hardin County, in 1875. He is a son of the late 
Judge Henry W. Seney, a member of the old Circuit Court in the Third Judicial District, and 
a nephew of Judge Geo. E. Seney, of Tiffin, a member of Congress for eight years, and author 
of Seney’s Ohio Code. 

Mr. Seney was graduated in law at Ohio State University, and admiitted to the bar in 
1899. He was associated with his father, up to the time of his death, in the practice of law 
in Toledo. Mr. Seney was in the office of the Prosecuting Attorney of Lucas County from 1915 
to 1921, and was defeated for his secoond term as Prosecutor in the Republican landslide of 
1920. He resides with his two children in Toledo, and is senior member of the law firm of 
Seney, Alexander & Donovan. 

James W. Faulkner, in the Cincinnati Inquirer of June 4, has this to say of Mr. Seney: 

“In fact, he comes of a family of attorneys, his great-great-grandfather, John Seney, of 
Maryland, being a member of that profession. His great-grandfather, Joshua Seney, was one 
of Maryland’s early Chief Justices. He will have the support of the Democratic organization 
in Toledo and Lucas County and probably throughout Northwestern Ohio, where the name of 
Seney is one to conjure with in politics and law.” 


Floyd C. Williams, of Cincinnati, Ohio, 
was the first Democratic candidate to file 
his petition for the nomination - for At¬ 
torney General of Ohio. His nomination 
papers were signed by former Governor 
Judson Harmon, Former Chief Justice 
Hugh L. Nichols, W. A. Julian, candidate 
for United States Senator in 1920, Judge 
Joseph W. O’Hara, Simeon M. Johnson, of 
Cincinnati, Judge Oscar W. Newman, of 
Columbus, and Harry Taylor and Mayor 
William Gablemen, of Portmouth. Mr. 
Williams will have the support of a large 
number of prominent attorneys through¬ 
out the state. Mr. Williams was born in 
Portsmouth and graduated from Miami 
University and the Cincinnati Law School. 
He was associated in the practice of his 
profession and w'as a partner of Hon. 
John Weld Peck and Frank H. Shaffer 
under the firm name of Peck, Shaffer & 
Williams until Judge Peck was appointed 
to the Federal Bench. The firm name 
was then changed to Shaffer & Williams. 
It specializes in the examination of state, 
county and municipal bonds and has been 
prominently connected with many of the 
important litigated matters of the state. 

Mr. Williams has never held any public 
office, although for years he has been 
closely identified with the Democratic 
party in Hamilton County. He was for¬ 
mer secretary of the Woodrow Wilson 
Club of Cincinnati, and is now vice-pres¬ 
ident of the Duckworth Democratic Club. 
In civic organizations in Cincinnati he 
has taken an active part as president of 
the Hyde Park Business Men’s Club. Mr. 
Williams has been endorsed by a great number of Democratic county organizations throughout 
the state and a committee has been formed in almost every county of the state to further his 
candidacy.

In the Constitutional Convention Judge T. D. Price served on four important committees. 
All measures supported by him in the Constitutional Convention were ratified by the people at 
the polls except the bonding of the State for good roads, and the proposal to permit women to 
be at the head of Institutions where women and children were cared for, which proposal was 
drafted by Judge Price on the sub-committee of the Legislative and Executive Committee. Two 
years later this proposal was again submitted to the people by reason of irregularities in the 
Girls’ Industrial School at Delaware, and was overwhelmingly adopted. 

Judge Price voted against and bitterly opposed the submission of the proposal to adopt 
the Torrens System of Land Titles in Ohio, which was adopted by the people and has long 
since fallen into disuse because of its own unworkability and the absence of any necessity for it.
